Sep 11, 2006last night my electric ran out suddenly...this doesnt usually happen 'cause i try to keep it all up to date (key meters for ya) When i turned my comp back on it went to the Black screen with White text, you know the one with Start Windows Normally.Start in Safe Mode etc.Well either way when i choose one of those, i get a blue screen of death appearing, can't quite remember what it said now, 'cause i am at a friend house at the moment, but i rang some tech support guy and he said my ROM had crashed, i've never heard anything like this before, so i am hoping you guys will know whats wrong, when i get back later i will find out what the blue screen has on it and post it here, but i know when the electric ran out it seriously messed something up...
I don't know how to fix it, and well if i have to re-install windows, then i'll just have to, but theres usually some other way.

Jul 5, 2007I'll cut to the chase.What I am asking is someway of turning the Entire Windows Desktop/Screen "Black and White" not simply High Contrast.I am one of those unfortunate ones, like many, that suffer from quite severe migraines from time to time. Couple this with frequent headaches, sometimes daily. This obviously isnt helped by the fact that my hobby and career are both in IT. I have tried every possible solution to alleviate the headaches. Lay off certain foods, make sure to have a balanced diet. Turn off any strong lighting around my computer screen, remove any strong colours from the desktop etc.

Oct 21, 2007When I open command prompt (DOS) it has the colors black background and grayish-white text, which is the default color. But when I type the command 'start', it opens a new window with blue text and green background.I think it does this because I download the program Replacer, which runs in DOS and makes the screen those colors. I also think the Replacer program did something to the system Path which modifies DOS to make it those colors when running a new window.

Dec 10, 2004My computer shutdown and on boot up it hangs at the black screen showing the white bar at the bottom. I have Windows 98 and 2000 on my computer and neither will boot up from C:, CDROM, or StartUp/BootUp disks. When I try to boot up from the Windows 2000 boot up disk it sometimes will not get passed the blue screen showing 'Windows 2000 setup. Once or twice it has shown some functions in the bar at the bottom of the page. I have tried to boot up using Windows 98 start up disk but most times it hangs at C:. Last night it did open Windows 98 but would not let me reinstall 2000 or do a repair. It now is hanging in both OS. I am told it could be my memory...but how do I check? Upon start up my memory check shows all is okay. I have ran the utility disk for my hard drive and it says all is okay. Before I invest in new memory is there anything else I should check or try? My computer is older and the memory is quite expensive.

Truncated Dialog Boxes - Change Settings To Restore?
Aug 8, 2005I am finding that many of the dialog boxes, which used to be normal, now display truncated. That is, portions of them, including various command buttons do not display, or only parts of the command buttons display. I'm sure I changed a setting somewhere to cause this, but I can't figure out what setting(s) will restore them to normal.

Jun 10, 2009Our offices have many Lenovo computers, 2004 vintage, no model name shown anywhere. The original driver disc is long lost, but for all but one of these, Windows XP finds built-in drivers that just work. Here is my chronology for the Bad Box that doesn't just work, there's really no alternative except to put the files that the box wants on the drive. To do this, I put the blank drive in one of the other Lenovo boxes (identical hardware in every way) and used XXClone to make a bootable clone of that other drive, put it back in my Lenovo and it booted fine, video looked great. I noticed that this system had never been updated and was running the original flavor of XP (confirmed in the properties of "My Computer"), so I downloaded Service Pack 2 and installed it.

Jan 3, 2005whenever I start my laptop two windows search boxes open. This is irritating and it may be linked to the (more irritating) fact that in the right-click dropdown shortcut menu thing, the top option is 'search' instead of explore or open, so double clicking opens a search box, but I don't know. How do I change all that? I'd be really grateful for any pointers.

Mar 16, 2008For over 6 months now I've been having a problem with my non-expandable windows message boxes shrinking, to the point text is cut off on the right and bottom, and some of the information is pressed together, and is unreadable. My display settings are all normal, and I almost had it fixed in December, when I ran scanfix, but after a couple of weeks, the boxes shrunk again. Microsoft won't help unless I pay, and most of the other forums I've tried either don't answer, or suggest changing the display settings. It Isn't The Display Settings! Currently, I have XP(home)SP2, on a Dell Dimension 4600, with a Dell 1800FP monitor. This is really getting frustrating. I just want to be able to read the info in the boxes again. I have also taken some screenshots to show what is going on,
